Akaroa is situated on the Banks Peninsula of the South Island of New Zealand. First settled by the French in the 19th century before New Zealand was officially claimed by the British.

Even today you find the main streets retain their French heritage and some of the early forms of architecture relate to those early days. Often regarded as the Riviera of Christchurch for its bays and cobalt blue waters Akaroa is a major vacation and weekend retreat.
